Comments.
Based on the description of
Kandasamy (1986)Euphyllura nigrigenataKandasamy, 1986
belongs to
CrytophylluraLi, 2011
. Within the
Euphyllurinae
,
Crytophyllura
shares with
BrachyphylluraLi, 2011
,
Euphyllura
Foerster, 1848
,
LigustriniaLoginova, 1973
and
Syringilla
Loginova, 1967
following putative synapomorphy: mesepimeron flat, clearly delimited by a rim. In
Brachyphyllura
,
Crytophyllura
and
Ligustrinia
the vein C+Sc of the forewing bears a shallow notch or kink subapically, which we also consider a putative synapomorphy.
Crytophyllura
differs from
Brachyphyllura
and
Ligustrinia
in the posterior margin of the vertex which is convex rather than straight or concave.
Following new combination is proposed here:
Crytophyllura nigrigenata
(
Kandasamy, 1986
)
,
comb. nov.
from
Euphyllura
. In the legend to his Fig. 8,
Kandasamy (1986: 92)
refers to this species as
Euphyllura nigriantennata
[sic] which is a misspelling.
